Back in Bukavu.First things first. I apologize profusely for those of you who have labored to post comments on my blog, but the default settings did not permit. I finally got a clue and set it up. Comment away (anonymous users and everyone!). No pressure...
Secondly, I just wanted to say that. I have a million stories to share, but be patient. I need to sleep first. This picture of me and Becky (regional Food for the Hungry staff) at the volcano in Goma is a bit of a teaser!
Lastly, please continue to pray for Congo. My heart is heavy with grief and I am finding that sometimes my effectiveness is thwarted by discouragement. Yet in the midst of it all, I pray that I remain confident in Him and continue to place my hope in Him.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in GOD, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my GOD.

Great verse to remember in the Psalms! Preach to yourself the truth of the Gospel that at the heart of it all, gives you a satisfaction regardless of whatever circumstances come you way.
So proud of you Lisa! My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Hi Lisa,
I saw you once at the Glendora WCG a few years ago doing some songs with your family and on Saturday I met with your Dad in our church again doing the Palm Sunday...it was great and after the service I wanted to know more about your work when I heard you were doing an internship for feed the hungry. You are doing a wonderful job, God bless your heart, your organization and your family in all what you all do. I am an African originally from Cameroon not too far from the Congo so I truly understand the sacrifice in helping the needy and appreciate it. My sister and I both members of WCG for over 30 years founded a non-profit organization that is geared at supporting orphans in Africa and it has not been easy but by God's grace we can make a difference. Continue to do the work and may the good Lord guide and protect you.
Thank You!
